    Altenator bracket

    Does this seem right ? I always thought the bracket goes on the outside (yellow arrow) but the only this fits is to go behind the alternator tab. I don't have the non a/c pulleys yet to verify it's straight but it just hurt my brain because it seems wrong. It's a 75 engine about to be...

    Re using cast iron rings?

    So I'm not going to mention which youtuber said it because I'm not throwing dirt at anyone but I recently watched a video and it was mentioned that you can more often than not, reuse your old cast iron rings. This actually makes sense in certain conditions like my 318 engine. It was...

    V8 (5.2) swapping a van

    So I am thinking of buying a 92 dodge ram shorty van that has a dead 3.9 v6. The van is VERY clean as far as the body, with NO rust. The interior is faded and old but very solid and complete. Would it be better to pull the 3.9 and see what's wrong with it OR v8 swap with a 318 Any...

    318 with random parts.

    So I recently acquired a 318 and I think it's a good core. I am actually surprised it's a good core considering the environment from where it was for the past estimated 30 years. To my surprise it has the adjustable rocker arms and solid lifters. The block is believed to be a 1972 for a...

    Damn good info

    I've been toying with pulling the trigger on a magnum engine. I see them around but they seemed kinda foreign but now i think my dart is getting a magnum now that I know more of what is be getting into.

    TBI vs. Carb

    So I have this 90 dodge ram with a 360 (5.9) and the TBI system. It starts and runs good but this truck is a parts truck and must be parted. So I have the idea of transferring this driveline to an older truck but should I get over the TBI Idea and use a carb or is a TBI something that...

    Cam and carb selections

    so working with a totally stock 1975 2 318. There's two options for the carb. 2 bbl. Which consists of a 360 cast iron 2bbl manifold and a 2 barrel carb from a 68 383, so considerably bigger than a regular 318 2 barrel. OR carb and manifold from a 75 360 which is a 4 barrel thermoquad...

    Puff of smoke on startup

    So, I now have a 68 318 and a 68 225 that both let off a good sized cloud of smoke every startup. What is likely the cause. Both are absolutley original, I would bet the 318 has never been apart. Runs great otherwise and it won't smoke other than just the startup.

    Cam identification, conditioning, re using.

    Ok, so I can say that with all the engines i have ever built, I have never reused a camshaft, that was the reason I had to rebuild a few. So i have a very stock 75 318 with what I believe us the original cam. I also have on the other corner a 74 318 that i have reason to believe the cam is...

    Throttle bracket

    Soooooooo...... Are there two different throttle brackets, one for 318 and one for 340/60.... or am I missing something?? I have a 77 360, and it was put in place to replace a junk 318. I am using the 904 from the 318 as well all the linkage and brackets. The TQ seems to be much wider than...

    Adjustable vs. Non adjustable kickdown rod

    So I have a non adjustable kickdown rod from a 75 dart with a 318 and the one on the engine is a 72 dart with a 318. Is there any advantage to having an adjustable one?? Does anyone know when they went to the non adjustable, which one was used in 1974? They seem to be the same size and...

    Oh NO!! not another small block build

    ok, so the story behind this engine is that it was rebuilt by the previous owner. It came in a 71 duster that I ended up scrapping the car but that is another story for another day. The kid claimed he went WyoTech so I assumed at first the engine was probably what he said because that is...

    What year did the LA 318 come out?

    I always thought like 68 was the first year for an LA 318 but I decoded a vin to a 66 fury and the decoder is saying it would have an LA 318 not a poly originally. So who knows when the LA came out??

    318 >>>360 in a 75 dart

    couple of questions. I found a running 360/727 in a 78 Chrysler C-body. I have a 75 dart swinger with a non running 318 now so would the 904 in the dart work on the 360? Like are they both external balanced....are they balanced the same?? ( I was thinking to use the 904 in the car so I don't...

    Can someone explain stroker kits

    So I am looking to rebuild my 360. It's a stock late 74 build for a 75 vehicle which makes sense since I took it out of a 75 RV. As I am looking around at engine kits, I notice a rotating assembly kit to Make a 408 stroker run about a grand to 1500. Not bad considering people rave on about...

    Tips on selecting Pistons??

    I have rebuilt engines before but typically I would find a suitable kit and buy the kit for x- amount of dollars and then had everything to put it together. The kits usually came with pistons and who knows what kind of compression they were running. This engine build I would like to know...

    318 differences ??

    I don't do too much with small blocks so it might seem obvious to some but..... I have a running 318/904 out of my 68 coronet ....seems to be the original, everything is late 67 dated which corresponds with the build date of the car. I am not going to use it so a neighbor guy up the road...

    ah sumting wong

    do the motor mounts go on the back of the mounting bosses or on the front??? I put them on the back and the trans does not line up by about an inch and a half and it seems too far forward. I don't do much with small blocks so im not sure but it seems kinda too far from the firewall...

    I have what I thought was a 318 in the corner of the garage, I never really paid attention to it because I big block swapped the car it came out of. It has an aftermarket intake on it and after a closer look today I found that my 318 is actually a 340. (stamped under the left head on the front...
